The Only Way To Travel
The city was known for its bus system. The government promoted the buses incessantly. Giant billboards covered the city's buildings and, yes, the buses themselves, testifying to their cleanliness and convenience and proclaiming that the city had the best bus system in the world.
The campaigns were obviously working. The buses were always so packed you were barely able to breath, even in the middle of the night.
It wasn't until many years later that the city realized the only people riding the buses were out of town tourists and undercover police officers. Most normal people just rode their bicycles.
